A PHYSICIANS SUICIDE.
He Cut Vein and Bled to Death on the
Eve of His Intended Marriage.

He Cut Vein ana Bled TO Death on the
Eve of His Intended Marriage.
NEW ORLEANS, June Last night DR..
John Cullon, one of the leading physicians
of Avayelles parish, committed suicide.
The suicide was cleyerly done and as none
but physician could have done it. A vein
had been cut in such a way that the
doctor had bled TO death, with every
appearance of its being an accident,
broken. What made it seem an accident,
have been married to-day to an interesting
and beautiful girl, to whom he was devo-
tedly attached and who was as much devc-
ted TO him. He had left her house an hour
before the suicide in the very best of spirits,
having arranged all the details of the we'd.
ding, which was to have come off to-day.
There were no letters in his accommodating
TO show the cause of the suicide. He was
certainly not insane, as he was in good cir
cumstances financially, with n handsome
residence and fine practice in the country.
Not until late to-day did the police solve
the mystery of the suicide. An autopsy
showed that DIR. Cullon was the victim Of
an incurable disease, and that his death
from il was a question of a few months
only. Knowing this be hesitated whether
TO marry or not, and seems 10 have wavered
in doubt up to the very last moment, when
he solved the problem by suicide. In his
pocket was found the wedding ring which
he had purchased that very day. The young
lady whom he was about to marry was
much prostrated by the shock Of his death.

LIBERAL GAINS.
The Coventry Success Cheering Up
the Party's Spirits.

Illo t-GTby . OplrlUS.
LONDON, July 10.-The Post, in comment
ing upon the Coventry elections, again urges
upon the government the necessity for
stronger measures with regard to Ireland,
and an official coalition between the Con-
servatives and Unionists.
The NetCS says: Gould Mr. Gladstone
have known the result of the Coventry
elections he might still further have en-
forced his remarks to his American visitors
yesterday. Everywhere the Liberals, whom
at Mr.. UladstoneS request, we no longer
nickname 'Gladstonians' are coming back
to their allegiance, and the question will
soon be whether the Liberals or Conserva-
tives will carry home rule.n
The Ddtty Ieiegraph and Chronicle both
contain Celebrations with a view to showing
that the result of the Coventry elections
could have been foreSeen, but that it
demonstrates the need of better organization
of the Unionist party.

The Political deadlock in Demerara.
from the Arqosg 18th October.)

The meeting of the Court of Policy on
Tuesday ended exactly as it was generally
anticipated it would end. The Governor
having gone to the extreme length OF making
himself a party to DR.. Williams escape from
the colony, in spite of the protest of the
Elective members of the Court, could not but
be hard driven to find an excuse for his con-
duct, and in the course of a very incoherent
defamation in which he ranged the gamut
of rhetoric from the high and naughty to the
humble and lugubrious, he signally failed to
produce a rag of excuse to cover his offence.
The case was simple enough. DR.. Williams
who had been made Medical Inspector 10
please DIR. Grieve, and who had acted as
Surgeon General during DIR. Grieve's absence
in England, succeeded during his short
term Of office in o~utraging all the Official
and professional proprieties. He hbeiled
an inoffensive estates hospital siispen-
ser . in Essequebo, calling IN question
the mans honesty and thereby leading TO
the mans temporary loss OF employment;
and although the Secretary OF State mas d.
rectsd that compensation shall be made to
the dispenser, the Government here have
not done so up till now and nave allowed the
libeller to leave the colony without giving bus
victim satisfaction. The Medical Inspector
